Agree with the cap comment but totally disagree about superman, the character has worked in the past (all the way back in 78) so there is no reason why he shouldn't work now however inorder to do that superman needs a competent director that actually respects (and cares) about the character and Snyder is neither of these things IMO.
Unfortunately, Superman has been mishandled from the start - Yes, even the Donner films.
I was a massive DC nerd back in '78 and even then the 8yr old me kept picking things they got wrong - especially a haggard, chain smoking Kidder as Lois and the pathetic 2nd rate con-man that was Luthor.
But the novelty was huge, especially back then.
"You'll believe a man can fly" was the tag line, so iut shows where movies were up to with special effects.
It was like the Jurassic Park of it's day for the effects alone.
That wore off and people started to judge them more critically and they started getting worse and worse with each movie. It was too camp overall.
Singer tried to make his the 5th film based off the same characters, but with comics going more mainstream and the cartoons as well, people were too familiar with it to but that version, plus camp isn't what people want from their heroes.
The solution isn't to run headlong in the other direction either and employ a nihilist who has the stupidity and arrogance to commission the creation of a dialect so he can have "Life is killing" engraved on Wonder Woman's weaponry.
Someone who claims to be a massive comic book guy but clearly didn't understand any of the works he cites as inspiration, or what personality traits made the characters such icons.
Let Zac make "The Fountainhead" to get him off JL and then he can have the the top 3 worst multiplier movies of all time instead of just the top 2 - although TBH, I can't imagine there'd be enough of an audience interested in a movie who's biggest point is that being a complete dick that no-one likes is OK if you're being true to yourself (oh, and that rape is a valid courtship choice and the best way to make a woman besotted with you) to generate much of an OW at all.
Hang on, as I remember it, Ayn Rand's repugnant protagonist was a genius that had to suffer the slings and arrows of timid, jealous, lesser men that destroyed his otherwise guaranteed success.
Zac probably sees this as his autobiography! Except Ayn's misanthrope actually had talent....
